Daiwa BG2500

I can just a flick of the wrist and i can launch my bait all the way out there. That's my review on. If you should buy the daiwa bg 2500 or not, i def...

So my overall conclusion is that this is just a solid reel. I'Ve been happy with it, and the fact that it's under a hundred dollars is a plus and comp...

He pulled my anchor up. Yes, that's a blue, a nice one too! That's a nice blue!

Reel I vote daiwa bg2500, they actually make a combo and the rod is decent. If buying rod seperate I like Fenwick eagle for the price.

bought this sight unseen (first time i've done that with a fishing reel). so far happy with purchase, reel is....REELY :-) smooth, you spin the handle and it will spin freely for many revolutions. In playing with reel on couch (have not fished with it yet) I noticed that the bail doesn't open all th...

Penn Battalion rod with a Daiwa BG reel and Suffix 832 braid. Sizing depends on what you’re fishing for. This is a great combo for your budget. I have the Battalion 7’ 10-17lb mono (10-30lb braid) 1/4-1oz and run 20lb braid with a 10’ leader of 12lb fluorocarbon on a BG2500 but you could go up to a 3500 as well.

My newb experience has been positive so far. The setup was relatively easy with the help of YouTube a...

So, I think Daiwa Jbraid X8 is my favorite braid for myself, however I am outfitting rods for guests on my boat. I picked up 6 BG2500's and 6 Star Stellar Lite inshore medium rods to start my guest collection of gear.

This unit has an issue with bail closing on cast. Went online and researched. The fix is to remove the spring assist and close manually. I i close all my reels manually any ways because of braid issues, but this is unacceptable from Daiwa. When you cast it spins so it is super smooth and friction fr...

It feels smooth and sturdy. Have not use it yet but I think it will be a great saltwater reel for me.
